This was an EPIC journey in a young Warrior's life. She lost both parents to an ambush and became the #1 wanted Spacer in all of the known world. Surprise after surprise in her journey. The author puts you into her head and you start to hunger for space. The action of the battles is truly awesome. You can picture wave after wave of ships of destruction. You hold your breath and weave and bob in defense of the attacks. I fell in love with Om. Bless his little whatever self, he becomes part of the Warrior in a funny, sad, hilarious, frightening way and tries to survive her. Twists and turns all through the book. There were parts with the miners that made me cry and I understood (it seemed like it was real, not a book) how parents would lay down their life for life. Tomorrow is 09-11-2014. This book really put what was in my heart after that attack into words. We all face something in our life that we have to pull down deep in us and give it life. This author is given 5 stars. The highest we are able to give, but in my heart I personally give her more. I bought this to read on my Samsung Tablet, but l plan to buy several books and give them to people that need to know, you are wonderfully made and unique. Go for it:)
